Opened in 1937 as Harewood aerodrome. Used as a RNZAF base in World War II. International air services started in 1950. Since the 1950s Harewood has been an important base for aircraft heading to US bases in Antarctica. The airport is officially Christchurch Airport in line with a move away from using local names.
